While the first-year boys did not ask any of the other male pupils of the school to the dance, they were not so strict with the girls, and a number from all the classes of the institution were bidden to the affair. "The more the merrier," said Ned, when he heard of this. "It will be the talk of the town Monday morning." "If it works out right," put in Fenn.
He considered it a very good joke, and I scowled at him several times. But once, when he wished to do the same, I seized his arm, and pushed him away; I was only a grammar-school boy, and he was a first-year law student; still I did push him away. With this heroic deed of mine not only myself but my cousin Melanie also was contented. That evening we danced right up till nine o'clock.
Far below, on the grounds of the Academy, cadets wearing the green uniforms of first-year Earthworms and the blue of the upper-classmen stopped all activity as they heard the blasting of the braking rockets high in the heavens. They stared enviously into the sky, watching the smooth steel-hulled spaceship drop toward the concrete ramp area of the spaceport, three miles away.
Mill and Spencer, the dominating figures of the sixties and seventies were reduced to the position of dummies used for target practice by beginners. Being intelligible they could be read by the first-year student, and the exposition of their fallacies provided an easy task for the lecturer's wit.
"Who did it?" "Where did they come from?" "How did it happen?" These and many more questions were heard on every side. The paper bags from which the mice had burst were still in the center of the floor. Some of the first-year boys picked them up. "I thought so!" exclaimed Walter Powell, the chairman of the arrangement committee of the dance. "The Darewell Chums had a hand in this.
The first-year class, meeting once a week, listens to an anonymous musical selection played by one of its members, and must decide by internal evidence such as simple cadences, harmonic figuration as applied to the accompaniment and other characteristics upon the school of the composer, and biographical data.
That came from a young male in scarlet. "Go ahead," Thark said. "We have time." "I have heard rumors that some humans have developed Talent." Thark projected amusement, was joined by several others. "It has been rumored indeed," he said. "Stories from long ago, before the Empire, do hint at some, but the strongest of those legendary humans would be about equivalent to a first-year student.
And hydrogen on Mars is the same as hydrogen on Terra, or on Alpha Centauri, or in the next galaxy " "You just set up those numbers, in that order, and any first-year chemistry student could tell you what elements they represented." Penrose said. "Could if he expected to make a passing grade, that is." The old man shook his head slowly, smiling. "I'm afraid I wouldn't make a passing grade.
And she added that the probationers received the regular first-year allowance of eight dollars a month, and she could make it do nicely which was quite true, unless she kept on breaking thermometers when she shook them down. At the end she sent her love to everybody, including even worthless Johnny Fraser, who cut the grass and scrubbed the porches; and, of course, to Doctor Willie.
He stated that perhaps he was being forward, because he was a "first-year" man, in asking to be heard; that he felt that the action of the circus men deserved the severest condemnation; that it was a natural impulse to want to punish cowardly acts and to "clean up" the show; but that it was lawlessness they were about to engage in; that it would bring disgrace on the college, as well as on the state and the Southland; more than this, many of the showmen would be armed with clubs, knives, and pistols, and if the boys did go, some of them might not come back alive and others might be maimed or crippled for life.
